CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Sept. 30 - Oct. 31, 2024
We're building a swimming pool! The pool will be located in the side yard: visitors will still be able to enjoy the pickleball/basketball, volleyball, or bocce ball courts; the lake; and activities in the large main yard. The prices shown in the calendar for the listed dates reflect a discount due to the construction, which will happen during the weekdays.

We have a strict no party policy -VRBO will be contacted immediately upon any noise violations, disruptive gatherings, or arrival of unauthorized guests.

Looking to make your stay as stress-free as possible? For an additional fee, we can provide the following services:

1. Pre-stock the refrigerator for you prior to your arrival, or do grocery shopping for you during your stay
2. Pick up dinner for you within 20 miles from the house, including South Haven, and will stop at more than one restaurant
3. Additional house cleanings, either full or partial, during your stay.

Several family members have strong to severe animal allergies. For this reason, we cannot allow any animals into our home.

The dock, watercrafts, and outdoor furniture are seasonal, and generally not available mid-fall until Memorial Day. The pool will be open from Memorial Day - Oct 20, 2025, weather permitting.

Cancellation Policy: Fifty percent (50.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 60 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 60 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

I once went on a trip to visit my daughter, who was living in a different city. Unknowingly, I booked a rental run by a large corporation. We had trouble with their automated check-in, and couldn’t get in touch with a real person for hours. So, I ended up having to find a hotel room late at night. The experience crystallized what I wanted for Michigan Family Retreats: a hands-on, family-focused, stress-free getaway, where the only thing people have to worry about is what they feel like doing together each day.
